On behalf of the staff, I want to welcome you to our Lincoln Middle School web site. It is our goal to ensure that all students have opportunities for social, emotional, and physical growth, as well as intellectual growth.

Our theme for the 2007-08 school year was developed by our Prevention Program and represents what we stand for: FIT to Excel, Ready to GO. F.I.T., Friends In Touch, and G.O., Guidance in Operations, are two wonderful groups that serve not only the school, but the communities that make up District 7.

We have high expectations for our students and will work hard to create an environment where they can excel. These expectations include academic performance and student behavior. This is where we can use your help. I invite you to get involved in what is going on within our school and to keep us informed of any concerns or ideas.

I am excited to have this opportunity to work with you, your student, and our incredible staff to help create an environment where we are FIT to Excel, Ready to GO.

In addition to our daily announcements, and information about teams, bus routes and athletics, we have included on our site our student and parent handbooks. These documents contain policies, procedures as well as information about opportunities for our students to participate in a variety of programs. We will go over this information on the first day with our students; however, we urge parents to read this information thoroughly and to discuss it with their children.

If you have any questions I may be reached by phone at 618.656.0485 or by email at sstuart@ecusd7.org.

Sincerely,

Steve Stuart, Ed.D
Principal
